How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 9 ÷ 100 = 0.09
- Multiply: 0.09 × 74 = 6.66
- Check: Work backwards: 6.66 ÷ 74 × 100 = 9%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 9/100 = part/74, so part = 9 × 74 ÷ 100 = 6.66. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =9%*74. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.
What the result means
6.66 is the 9% share of 74. The remaining 91% is 67.34, and the two parts add back up to 74.
Discounts: 9% off an item priced $74 saves $6.66, so you pay $67.34.
Adding and taking away 9%
Increasing 74 by 9% gives 80.66 and decreasing it by 9% gives 67.34. These do not cancel out: raising 74 by 9% and then lowering the result by 9% ends at 73.4006, because the second 9% is taken of a bigger number.
